How to Configure Linksys Wireless Router

Running a simple local area network to share files and resources isn’t new as a computer installed and configured properly with network adapter is a network on it own but implementing the power of wave to create a wireless networking is superb as there will not be need for a cable running and joining that will make a local area network look hierarchy.

As a network engineer, i charge a minimum of $100 or it equivalent to setup and configure your wireless router to your network which shouldn’t take me more than 15 minutes under normal circumstance as long as your computers and devices are equipped with wireless network adapter.

I do normally advice my clients to go for Linksys (Cisco) product when it comes to networking as their product are compatible with all major other vendor products making them the best.

The trick behind charging $100 for a 15 minutes job is already done on it own as the router itself comes with a manual with step by step procedures on how you can configure it but due to the fact that some of the terms used are unidentified and new to you, you employ the service of network engineer to do it for you.

Let’s get started.

Connect your router to a computer system using a twisted pair RJ-45 cable inserting one end at the back of your router into any of the LAN port and the other end cable entering and plugging into the RJ-45 port on your computer. Please take note of the LAN and WAN port, so you don’t plug it to the WAN port at the router but rather the LAN.
